There is no birth, there is no death; there is no coming, there is no going; there is no same, there is no different; there is no permanent self, there is no annihilation. We only think there is.

Words and thoughts concerning compassionate action that are not put into practice are like beautiful flowers that are colorful but have no fragrance.

In order to be loved, we have to love, which means we have to understand.

Happiness is the cessation of suffering. Well-being.

Mindfulness is the miracle by which we master and restore ourselves.

It is not impermanence that makes us suffer. What makes us suffer is wanting things to be permanent when they are not.

Loneliness cannot be alleviated just by the coming together of two bodies, unless there is also good communication, understanding, and loving kindness.
